There’s no question that Cecil County’s Real Estate Market remained strong in January, 2019 as indicated by the increase in Average Selling Price and Median Selling Price over January of last year. However, the number of closed sales dropped as Months of Inventory climbed.

Months of Inventory is a statistic calculated by dividing the number of Active Listings by the average number of Home Sales over a given period – 12 months in this case. For January, 2019, Cecil County’s Months of Inventory was 4 meaning every listing in the county would sell in 4 months – given the current pace of home sales – an indicator of a seller’s market.

I feel that Cecil County’s real estate market is becoming more balanced. It’s possible for buyers and sellers to negotiate favorable (fair) deals. There’s no question that it’s a good time to sell a home in Cecil County assuming that asking price realistically reflects the property’s condition and location. When writing offers, buyers need to rely on their Realtor’s value estimates and write offers that are in line with real world values.
